1. McFadden
2. Ingram
3. Fournette
4. Gurley
5. Henry

I know that ya'll are going to say that Henry got the best of Fournette head to head and all but I think at the end of their careers we will say Fournette was better. I will admit you could make a legit argument for either.

I'm not ranking Fournette and Chubb until their careers are over. Of the others, based on talent...

1. Gurley
2. McFadden
3. Cadillac
4/5. Mason /Henry

I don't know how you can put Ingram top 5

Fournette will play 3 years and finish with 4000+ yards and 40+ TDs, with a 6.0+ YPC.

That will be more than enough to be considered one of the 5 best of all time, in the SEC.

3. Cadillac
5. Henry


Cadillac's best season he ran for 1,307 yards and 5.4 ypc. In 2004, with weapons everywhere and an NFL QB he ran for 4.9 ypc.

He was a really good player, but I think his injuries in the NFL and the shared backfield with Ronnie Brown have given him an overvalued lore.

Mason was a great back.

My list is based purely on who I would want for 1 game with all having the same supporting cast.

1) Gurley
2) Fournette
3) McFadden
4) Lattimore
5) Henry

I like Henry the best of all the Bama running backs and I do think they are somewhat a product of the system they are in. If you are the starting rb for Bama, you are going to put up good stats. However, Henry is a stud, I just can't put him above the other 4.

Based on ability Gurley is top 3. Based on accomplishments he's isn't top 10.

McFadden and Gurley would rotate in my backfield, and I would pick Fournette as my 3rd running back, who would be used if one of the others were injuried.

Honestly it feels like we're comparing different eras in talking about Cadillac and Henry.

There has certainly been a spike in big yardage backs, it feels like. Perhaps due to enhanced offenses? I don't know. But Chubb, Fournette, Henry, Mason, etc. all breaking out these huge yardage years or high YPC at this level?

DMac got so screwed, he would have won 2 heismans had Steve Spurrier put him anywhere on his ballot


Did you know that McFadden lost the Heisman by 1,662 votes in 2006 and by 254 votes in 2007?

Did you know that a first place vote is worth 3 points?

Does Spurrier have some super powerful Heisman vote that nobody but you knows about?

Ingram isn't better than Caddilac, Fournette, Chubb and a whole host of other unmentioned running backs.
You're a dumbass.
